Batch in Amberger Disko: Alcohol and aggression exposed!

In the Amberg city center, there was a tangible discussion in a discotheque early Sunday morning. A 60-year-old and a 31-year-old got into a verbal argument that quickly turned into physical violence. The younger of the two men started on his opponent and hit him, whereupon he retired and stepped on the face of the 31-year-old. The aggressive gentlemen were heavily alcoholic, which also fueled their behavior. Terrible, but not entirely atypical for nightly debauchery in later hour-such as [Mittelbayerische.de] (https://www.mittelbayerische.de/lokales/stadt-am-und-landkreis-amberg-sulzbach/schlaegerei-in-amberger-disko-stisko-stisko-steithane-31- and reported, both men ultimately had to be brought into the police cell.

Another incident was also discussed when the discotheques in Bavaria were reopened after the forced break. In a dance restaurant at the Klosterhof, several people clashed, including a 33-year-old and another 31-year-old. Here there was a fist fight in which a 20-year-old security employee wanted to intervene, but had a fight himself. Another simpleer also got under his fists. According to news oberpfalz.de) the first evenings after the reopening already seem to be shaped by violent arguments.

alcohol as a risk factor

alcohol seems to have played a significant role in both cases. Despite a general acceptance of crimes related to alcohol consumption in the past 20 years, police crime statistics show that serious crimes are committed under alcohol influence in a significant part of cases. According to the [null- alohn-voll-power.de] (https://www.null- alcohol-voll-power.de/checken/news-und-fakten/Al-und-gestrt/), 50% of the suspects in the event of resistance and assault on the state violence were alcoholic. These figures clearly show that the consumption of alcohol increases the risk of violence.

The more important is helping offers for those affected by violence. Various telephone numbers are available, such as the children's and youth telephone on 116 111 or the victim telephone of the White Ring on 116 006. These initiatives offer those affected the opportunity to ask for support free of charge and anonymously.

The current situation and the latest incidents make you look forward and show the challenges that can go hand in hand with the nightly pleasure. It is to be hoped that people learn from this experience and that the discotheques in the Free State can continue to remain a place for carefree nights.
